This is a mean record. Negative! Negative!! Negative!!! "Metal Skin Panic" is the noisiest horrifyingly violent splatterbreak-noisecore around. And "Abnormal Play For Collapsing Mentality" is darker, colder, & more lonely than the deepest, blackest frozen sea.Recorded in 2001 and kept from the world until now. The red you see on the cover art is Christopher Jion's blood & bone-plasma! Smeared on paper & scanned in soon after returning from the emergency room. (the super-limited test pressing version had his REAL blood on a permanently sealed sleeve)
Noise side: Metal Skin Panic Ambient side: Abnormal Play For Collapsing Mentality. Price: £1.75

JayRope: "What a cool mix of ambient & downtempo. Great stuff, feels like central Berlin in 1990, cyber punks meeting in dark neon bars in the last of 7 backyards, garage building, Color peels off the wall, wet & hot, the smell of vodka mixed with the fog machine, music playing off a cassette tape and on a big mono speaker, shattering, booming, pleasantly shaking the spine. Rosenthaler Straße. Respect."
Limited to 300 copies. Comes in matte DVD-digipak.

Programmed and recorded in real-time in one sitting (with Nanoloop 1.3 and a Zoom RFX-2000 multi-effect processor as gear). Like precision-tuned time-pieces, chiming keyboard melodies intertwine in clockwork formation for seventy-seven radiant minutes in a collection that's anything but a "sleeping pill." Plodding electro-beats appear in some pieces ("Grass Walker") while hard techno rhythms pound throughout the ten-minute "The Hero." "Cave Diamonds" douses its lockstep patterns with a reverb cloud that's not so thick that the track's crystalline melodies aren't able to shine through. "Climb The Chain" and "The Hero" are, if anything, even more frenzied in their rapid cross-firing of hammering keyboard patterns ("The Hero" is so relentless and unsparing in its attack, it feels like a descent into insanity given aural form). Sensitive to the problem that restricting himself to relatively circumscribed sound-generating resources could create, Jion prevents sameness from setting in by switching up the tracks' stylistic forms as the album unfolds. Some pieces, in fact, are so intense and hit so hard they could seamlessly accommodate a transcription into a punk form (note the hint of synthetic thrash in the wiry funk workouts "Crystalline Heart" and "Nephophobic", for example).

The music is carried by a tranquil and slow beat that comes in and out at the right places, like a heartbeat. It's extremely minimal but so effective and overwhelming. The way the beat sometimes vanishes leaves you floating in the ambience like a helpless piece of dust in space. You're in a deep, deep trance when you`re listening to this wonderful music.
This is what ambient is all about: helping you leave this planet for a while, letting you drift in an endless, calm and unhurried universe, letting you dream and explore the unconscious.
Truly a masterpiece and an instant classic, just get your hands on this CD.
Comes with a free bonus CD "07/03/2007".
